The opportunity to send private messages

more_vert
The community spirit is growing strong for me, community is communication, but sometimes it would be better or is needed to keep it private.
Maybe give users the choice to disable that if they don't want it, a blacklist to hinder abuse ...

A PM system would offer many advantages.
However, I'm kinda scared that more personal contact would also open the doors to toxic behaviour and abuse making everything way harder to moderate (speaking from personal experience). I am not against the idea but at the moment this talk section is kind of a safe haven where everyone is respectful and stays on topic and it would be nice if it'd stay that way.
AlerionYeah, i tend to agree with this. MOST people here, in really involved in the community, can be found elsewhere to PM. Having everything out in the open generally helps encourage good behavior here, though there are always those troublesome few that are just ***holes still.

It would be a good start, but...
...I kind of wish we had an actual official MassDrop forum. It could have PM's as a feature.

I had this idea this morning as well and I definitely believe that it's the feature that I'm missing the most. A good DM system would be awesome, I really hope you guys implement it soon.
DM system is definitely in my top 5 wishlist items. I think you need one to really build a relationship with someone

I do value the community input here. That is where most of the great feedback comes. That said; I think the option to direct message someone is needed in any community. There are some things that can be kept simpler between two parties as opposed to open.

I would rather see the ability to create new threads (or some process for suggesting discussions). Outside of that, product wish list would be nice.

jceaserJust to make sure, you can't open a new discussion, yet? If so, this is up to the beta state and should be getting better/different in the future, but it's in MDs hands. Product wish list, that's what the poll system is meant for, but maybe i'm not getting your point!
